Yes. matrixone runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 29 minutes, hitting 3 errors on the way, and recorded the session.

How did Argusic test matrixone?

On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 7ce783464806. One attempt is recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.

What did it cost to test matrixone?

The run that produced this verdict cost $0.53: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.

How long does matrixone take to install?

29 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.

Does matrixone need a GPU?

Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.

What goes wrong when installing matrixone?

3 things broke in the recorded run, and 3 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.

Where is the evidence for matrixone?

The recorded run is on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.

matrixone runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 29 minutes and hit 3 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.

MatrixOne server built from source (mo-service, 275MB binary), launched on port 6001, accepting MySQL protocol connections, queries returning correct results including data manipulation operations.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured

Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).

What was measured

From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.

Time lost to each failure while testing matrixone, drawn from the recorded run — Every bar is a failure the agent recorded, with the time it cost. Drawn from this run, not from anywhere else.

What went wrong, in the agent's own words

The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.

archsimd API mismatch: Load*Slice functions renamed to Load*, Store(&x) must use Store(x[:])3 minutes
Server exited on startup due to stale data directory causing CN admission deadline exceeded3 minutes
Go 1.26.4+ not installed (system has no go binary)2 minutes

Install time: 29 minutes
Cold machine to finish: 34 minutes
Errors hit and fixed: 3 hit, 3 fixed with no human help
How the result was proved: mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 6001 -u root -p111 -e 'SELECT VERSION()' returned '8.0.30-MatrixOne-v1.3.0'; CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE, INSERT, SELECT all returned correct results.

What was not measured

The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.

Peak GPU memory: this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
Behaviour over a long run: each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load

Let me produce the final report.

Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.

How it was tested

One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.

Strengths and limits

Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.

What went well

Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
Recovered from all 3 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
Licensed Apache-2.0, as reported by its host.

What did not, or is not known

Took 29 minutes to install, slower than the median of the 24 comparable projects Argusic has measured.
Measured once so far. A single attempt shows it can run, not that it runs reliably.

Of the 25 agents projects Argusic has installed and timed, matrixone was the 24th fastest to reach a running state, and 15 of 25 reached one at all.

What it is a reasonable choice for

Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.

Also tested, in the same area

Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.
